The frozen tissue was sent to Active Motif Services (Carlsbad, CA) to be processed for ChIP-Seq. In brief, the tissue was submersed in PBS + 1% formaldehyde, cut into small pieces and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. Fixation was stopped by the addition of 0.125 M glycine (final). The tissue pieces were then treated with a TissueTearer and finally spun down and washed 2x in PBS. Chromatin was isolated by the addition of lysis buffer, followed by disruption with a Dounce homogenizer. Lysates were sonicated and the DNA sheared to an average length of 300-500 bp. Genomic DNA (Input) was prepared by treating aliquots of chromatin with RNase, proteinase K and heat for de-crosslinking, followed by ethanol precipitation. Pellets were resuspended and the resulting DNA was quantified on a NanoDrop spectrophotometer. Extrapolation to the original chromatin volume allowed quantitation of the total chromatin yield. An aliquot of chromatin (25 ug) was precleared with protein A agarose beads (Invitrogen). Genomic DNA regions of interest were isolated using 4 ug of antibody against the C-terminal region of REST (generous gift from Gail Mandel, Vollum Institute). Complexes were washed, eluted from the beads with SDS buffer, and subjected to RNase and proteinase K treatment. Crosslinks were reversed by incubation overnight at 65 C, and ChIP DNA was purified by phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. Illumina sequencing libraries were prepared from the ChIP and Input DNAs by the standard consecutive enzymatic steps of end-polishing, dA-addition, and adaptor ligation. Steps were performed on an automated system (Apollo 342, Wafergen Biosystems/Takara). After a final PCR amplification step, the resulting DNA libraries were quantified and sequenced on Illumina's NextSeq 500 (75 nt reads, single end).
